liblicense 0.8-1 is a new ABI from upstream (who happens to be me). It
also fixes a serious bug, #493293 , that makes it fail to read some
licenses and in the same files makes its write meaningless nonsense
instead of a proper piece of license metadata.

Version 0.8-1, already in unstable, fixes this. It does introduce a new
ABI bump, liblicense3, which is necessary for fixing this. There are no
dependenices on liblicense2 or liblicense3 right now in the archive except
those provided in the same source package, liblicense.
